General Description

SDR receiver circuit designed with emphasis on fundamental performance

The high-resolution A/D converter and the FPGA element developed for the high-end SDR Yaesu Trans-

ceivers are utilized. The twin A/D converter circuit conguration performs digital conversion processing

using two A/D converters and FPGA digital synthesis. A/D converter overow due to overload is reduced

to improve blocking characteristics. In addition, random noise is added to the analog signal before digital

conversion, and by minimizing the quantization error during digital conversion by the A/D converter, distor-

tion is suppressed. Then Dithering technology is implemented to improve IM (intermodulation) character-

istics, etc., and enhance the overall performance of the SDR receiver circuit.

3DSS method adopted

In addition to the conventional waterfall display, a 3DSS (3 Dimensions Spectrum Stream) image method

has been adopted. The 3DSS image uses the horizontal axis (X axis) for frequency, the vertical axis (Y

axis) for signal intensity, and the Z axis for time. Compared to the conventional waterfall method, the sig-

nal strength is displayed in three dimensions as well as in color, recognition of changes in the band condi-

tions is instant, convenient and intuitive.

AESS (Acoustic Enhancement Speaker System) produces high-delity Audio

Using DSP signal processing, the speaker in the top of the Transceiver, and an external side speaker are

combined to reproduce high-quality received audio with a wide frequency range and a three-dimension-

al eect that would not be expected from a compact HF transceiver. set the optimum sound quality by

adjusting the output balance and frequency characteristics of the two speakers according to your prefer-

ence.

High-brightness TFT full-color display with touch-panel functionality

The FT-710 is equipped with a 4.3-inch full-color TFT display. Operating functions, including the receiving

band noise and signal interference reduction tools, are graphically displayed. Even while involved in rig-

orous operations, such as DXpeditions and contests, the operator may instantly grasp the status of each

function.

Filter Function Display monitors the status of the passband

In the upper part of the display, a lter function display presents the state of the pass-band. In addition to

the operating state of the interference removal functions, the lter function information is displayed. Not

only can you grasp the operating status of WIDTH, SHIFT, NOTCH and CONTOUR at a glance, you can

also view the status of the RF spectrum in the passband.

Two selectable RF Stages amplify the desired signals from low band to

high band

RF amplifier AMP1, and AMP2 are low noise negative feedback RF amplifiers that may be selected or

combined in series as is needed for various low-band, high-band, frequency and noise conditions.

In addition, the IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) function maximizes the dynamic range and enhances

the close multi-signal and inter-modulation characteristics of the receiver. The inuence of strong broad-

casting stations, especially in the low bands, can be minimized.

WIDTH and the continuously variable Bandwidth SHIFT features per-

mit elimination of interfering signals

The WIDTH feature allows the bandwidth to be narrowed by rotating the WIDTH knob. The SHIFT feature,

can eliminate interference in one side of the passband. Often, weak signals disappear due to interfering

signals (including pile-ups). The interfering signals may be extracted, leaving only the desired signal, be-

cause of the unique DSP sharp ltering characteristics.

CONTOUR feature is renowned for eective noise reduction

Rather than using the DSP extremely sharp attenuation characteristics, the CONTOUR circuit provides

gentle shaping of the DSP passband lter, and can thus attenuate or peak bandwidth components in seg-

ments. The interfering signal can be naturally shaped without having part of the signal suddenly disrupted.

The contour function is very eective in making the desired signal rise out of the interference.

5

DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) by DSP digital processing

The incorporated digital noise reduction circuit may be set to the optimal working algorithm by varying the

15 step parameters according to the noise type.

NOTCH feature can eliminate an unwanted heterodyne, and the DNF

feature can instantly attenuate multiple heterodyne signals

When interfering beat signals are present in the receiver passband, the IF NOTCH feature can signicant-

ly eliminate a narrow portion of the passband and remove the interfering signal. Moreover, when there are

multiple interfering signals, the DSP DNF (Digital Notch Filter) Automatic Tracking System can be eec-

tive, even when an interfering frequency is changing.

[FUNC] (function) knob

Simply press the function [FUNC] knob to easily select the setting menu, and then change the setting val-

ue. Quick response is possible even while operating. Assign a frequently used function or setting menu

and then you can easily change the setting just by turning the knob.

VMI (VFO mode indicator)

The VMI is placed on the left and right sides of the MAIN dial to show the current operating status of

VFO-A, VFO-B, Memory mode and clarier/split operation.

The color of the VMI indicator may be selected from 4 colors (blue/green/red/white) for each operation

status.

SD memory card

An SD card slot on the left side of the front panel permits using a commercially available SD memory card

for recording/playback of received audio, for voice recording for transmission, to save the various oper-

ating settings, saving memory contents, and screen capture (saving the display screen). The SD card is

also used to update the rmware.

Installation and Interconnections

Antenna Considerations

The FT-710 is designed to connect to a 50 Ohm resistive impedance antenna at the Amateur operating

frequencies. Select an appropriate antenna (dipole antenna, YAGI antenna, cubical quad antenna, etc.)

that is suitable for the chosen operation and bands.

Construct the antenna and coaxial cable, or use a suitable antenna tuner, to maintain the impedance

presented to the FT-710 antenna connector for an SWR of 1.5 or less. Careful preparation of the antenna

and/or tuner will permit maximum performance, and protect the transceiver from damage.

High transmitter RF voltages may be present on the antenna; install it so it will not be easily touched when

in operation.

Antenna Connections

Carefully follow the illustration regarding the proper connection of antennas and coaxial cables.

To prevent damage from lightning, atmospheric electrical discharges,

electric shock etc., provide a good earth ground.

Use a short, thick, braided cable to connect the station equipment to the

buried ground rod (or alternative earth ground system).

Power Cable Connections

Carefully follow the illustrations regarding the proper connection of the DC power cable.

Use the DC power cable supplied with the FT-710 to make the power connections to the power supply.

Installation guidelines

• Ensure adequate ventilation around the trans-

ceiver, to prevent heat build-up and possible re-

duction of performance due over heating.

• Do not install the transceiver in a mechanically

unstable location, or where objects may fall onto

it from above.

• To minimize the possibility of interference to

home entertainment devices, take all precaution-

ary steps including separation of TV/FM anten-

nas from Amateur transmitting antennas to the

greatest extent possible. Keep the transmitting

coaxial cables separated from cables connected

to home entertainment devices.

• The AC Power Cord connected to a socket-out-

let with earthing connection. A socket-outlet with

earthing connection shall connect to protective

earthing conductor.

AESS (Acoustic Enhanced Speaker System)

The combination of the internal speaker on top of the transceiver with the external speaker

“SP-40”, reproduces high-quality received audio with a wide frequency range and a three-dimensional

acoustic eect. Set the optimum sound quality by adjusting the output balance and frequency characteris-

tics of the two speakers according to your preference.

• The AESS is designed to function optimally with the included speaker “SP-40”. It will not perform properly

with other speakers.

• When moving or transporting the FT-710, remove the SP-40 to prevent it from falling o.

SP-40 connections

The SP-40 can be mounted on either the left or right side of the transceiver.
